On Gillard there was an absolute classic when Tuckey thought he could take her on . Sadly the youtube vid is gone now, it was one of my all time favourites.
Quote:
Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard was receiving cheers from the government ranks as she promoted its industrial relations changes when Mr Tuckey jumped to his feet.
"Is this now going to be the policy of yourself (Speaker Harry Jenkins) that the parliamentary chamber is going to be something of a football field and we're going to have cheer squads?" Mr Tuckey said.
"We could bring some in."
Laughter echoed throughout the chamber .....
Ms Gillard was quick to retort: "Thank you very much Mr Speaker and I'm sure we will all live in fear of the dimension of the Member for O'Connor's cheer squad when it turns up."
